Inventor: HADDAN REGINALD
IPC: G06C11/02
Filed: 1914-07-27
Granted: 1915-06-17
Abstract: 17,785. Haddan, H., [National Cash Register Co.]. July 27. Cash registers; tabular calculators; transfer mechanism. - A change indicator forming part of a cash register consists of a number of pairs of numeral-wheels 15, 16, Fig. 1, reprosenting initially numbers of cents of amounts tendered by intervals of five cents, as indicated by the scale above the reading - apertures, and adapted to be diminished as to each pair by'the purchase - amount set upon the cash register when operation takes place, thereby indicating all the possible values of cents change in a tabular manner. The cash register is of the key-set lever - operated kind described in Specification 9400/97. All the units drums for numbers ending in 5 cents, and also the single 10-cents drum, are fast to a shaft 17 which is adapted, through suitable connexions, to receive in a backward direction the rotation of the units differential segment of the cash register. Figs. 4 and 5 show the connexions whereby the tens differential segment 45 actuates similarly the tens drums of the indicators, and for transfers due to the subtraction of any number of units of cents from even multiple sets, pinions 35 fast to the tens wheels 16, which are themselves loose upon the shaft 17, receive a unit displacement, in addition to the ordinary differential movement that is derived from the tens differential segment 45 through a pinion 42, mounted upon a hanging arm 44, a rack 40, and the train shown. Movement of the units segment is arranged, in addition to actuating the units change wheels, to rotate correspondingly a spindle 29 carrying two cam-disks 58, 59, where of the disk 58 is adapted to force the arm 44 and pinion 42 rearwards through one step at the first movement of the units segment, whereas the cam 59, Fig. 4, produces a like movement of the arm 56 associated with a rack-bar 52 normally communicating the tens movement to the group of odd multiple sets at the sixth movement of the units segment. The transfer may thus be simultaneous with actuation upon the tens denomination.

Granted: 1915-09-16
Abstract: 20,047. Ricks, F., and British United Shoe Machinery Co. Sept 22. Boot-sole sewing and lasting machines.-A machine for simultaneously lasting and inserting stitches or other permanent fasteners in Velcltschoen work, such as described in Specification 4058/12, is provided with means to support the shoe against the tendency to distortion caused by the lasting and fastening means; in some cases the supporting-means may be arranged to move the shoe in an opposite direction to that in which it tends to be displaced. The machine is constructed substantially similarly to that described in the above-mentioned Specification, with the addition of a sole-straightening tool 6 adapted to engage the sole at a point adjacent to the presser-foot 4 but nearer to the centre portion of the shoe. This tool is adjustably mounted in an elbow lever 7 fulcrumed on the presser-foot shaft 8, and connected by a lever 10 to a cam-operated lever 11, which operates the thread measurer of the machine described in the above-mentioned Specification. The tool is moved into engagement with the sole, and preferably depresses the last, at the time when the lower thread is tensioned to tighten the stitch, remains in position during the pull of the pincers, and is raised after the awl pierces the work and before the feed. The path of movement of the tool may be varied, or the tool may be rendered inoperative, by providing eccentric bearings for the pivot of the lever 7. Alternatively, the pivotal connexion 14 between the levers 10, 11 may be arranged in a slot 13 in an extension of the lever 11; a spring-pressed plunger 15 normally holds the pivot 14 in alinement with the shaft about which the lever 11 swings, but when it is desired to throw the tool into operation, the pivot can be pressed downwards in its slot by a connexion 17 with a knee-lever &c. In some cases, the tool may be given a definite amount of movement after engaging the sole by forming the elbow lever 7 in two parts and actuating the one part carrying the tool through a pawl and ratchet from the other part; the limit of movement of the tool may be controlled by masking the pawl.

Granted: 1915-07-01
Abstract: 21,794. Siemens Bros. & Co., [Siemens & Halske Akt.-Ges.]. Oct. 30. Semi - automatic exchange systems.-Means are provided for delaying the transmission of any particular set of impulses so as to give time for special operations, such as the finding of an idle trunk to a distant exchange by a non- numerical switch. The Figure shows a keyboard set of the kind described in Specification 1157/14, in which the depression of the seventh key of the thousands series causes a pause before the transmission of the hundreds impulses. A contact 13 between the thousands and hundreds places is connected to a relay CO, which is connected on the other side to a contact of the key 7, so that if this key has been depressed, the relay CO is energized at the termination of the thousands impulses. The relay CO opens the circuit of a magnet D, which unclutches the impulse-transmitter and brings it to a stop. The relay CO also initiates the energization of a chain of slow-acting relays V1, V2, V3, V4. When the relay V4 energizes, it open-circuits the relay CO, which causes the relays V1, V2, &c. to de-energize in succession. The circuit of the clutch magnet D is held open at the contact 20 until the relay V3 de-energizes, and the impulsetransmitter is then started going again. Different delays may be imposed by different settings of the key-set. The invention is applicable to systems of the kind described in Specification 16,638/13.

Title: Improvements in Mechanical Presses for Imprinting and Drying Stereotype Matrices.
Inventor: WINKLER CARL
IPC: B41D1/00
Filed: 1915-08-03
Abstract: 11,220. Winkler, C. Aug. 3. Embossing; stopping- arrangements. - In a press for imprinting and drying stereotype matrices, the driving- mechanism of the press is operated by a motor through a coupling which is automatically disconnected when the press head has just passed the point of maximum pressure, so that the drying of the matrix is effected at a pressure less than the maximum, to prevent injury to the forme. The driving- mechanism and motor may be arranged under the work table to prevent injury to the operator. As shown, the press head 2 is driven by an electric motor 3 through clutch members 10, 10<a>, worm gearing 5, spur gears 6, 6<a>, 7, 7a, connecting-rod 8, toggle-levers 4, and connecting-rods 9. The slidable member 10 of the clutch is engaged with the member 10<a> by the depression of a foot-lever 11, which acts through linkage 11<c>, 11<d>, 11<f> and is held depressed by a catch 13 on a lever 14 engaging a pin 12. The clutch is disconnected by a spring 11<a> on the release of the pin 12 from the catch 13. This release is effected when the press head 2 is at its highest point, by means of a camprojection 17<b> on a disk secured to the shaft 18 of the gear 7<a>, and also when the press head has just passed the point of maximum pressure, by means of a cam-projection 17<a> of a disk 17 adjustable on the disk carrying the projection 17<b>. The driving-mechanism is braked simultaneously with the release of the clutch, by brake blocks 10<b> carried by a lever 10<c> connected by a link 10<e> to the link 11<f>, so that when the clutch part 10 is moved away from the part 10<a>, the brake blocks 10<b> are moved into engagement with the part 10<a>. The lever 14 may also be oonnected with a hand-lever, so that the press may be stopped at any desired point. The press may be provided with an indicator comprising a pointer 48, Fig. 7, adapted to be moved over a scale 52 by means of a tappet 51 on the press head engaging a projection 50 of the pointer. The press head 2 and work table 1 may be suitably heated.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Explosive Shells.
Inventor: DAVIDSON SAMUEL CLELAND
IPC: F42C19/00
Filed: 1915-12-20
Abstract: 17,802. Davidson, S.C. Dec. 20. [Cognate Application, 8518/16.] Projectiles ; projectile fuses ; gun cartridges.- Relates to explosive shells especially adapted for short ranges, and consists mainly in attaching a shell to a cartridge by means of an annular series of prougs having gaps between them, the arrangement being such as to provide vents whereby partial escape of the cartridge-explosion gases can occur before the shell moves, the propellant effect being thus reduced. The cartridge is, in all the modifications described, of less diameter than that of the shell. Fig. 1 shows one form in which the base fuse-plug g of the shell has four prongs g<1> fitting tightly within the cartridge i. The g ps between the prongs are in line with recesses g<4> m the flange of the fuse-plug. The recesses, which form the escape vents, may be filled with hard paraffin wax or like waterproof substance, such filling being blown out when the cartridge explodes. The prongs may fit around the outer end of the cartridge, instead of within it. In further modifications, the escape vents are closed by an interior lining l of paper or similar easily burst material. Fig. 6 shows an example of such a construction, in which the connecting-prongs g<1> are integral with a sleeve g‹. The shell itself is intended to contain a bursting-charge of gunpowder or other explosive of moderate strength, and the shell body, which is made of cast iron, is ridged and grooved internally as shown in Fig. 1, so as to provide pyramidal projections b. There are two external parts a<1>, which are machined so as to fit freely the barrel of the fire-arm. The time-fuse is enclosed in a tube h, which is corrugated into the cover of the fuse itself, so as to prevent a flash from passing through. Also, to make a flash-tight joint at the cartridge end of the fuse, the end h of the tube is expanded within the passage through the plug. The Provisional Specification 17,802/15 describes a modified construction in which a disk or collar having projections for engaging the rifling of a firearm is clamped between the base of the shell and a base plug. The cartridge may be secured to the shell by a metal sheath which has its forward edge turned in and clamped between the base plug and driving-ring, while the rear end engages with the base of the cartridge.
